- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
This is a major thermoplastic material finding use in a wide variety
of profiles. Flexible PVC is lightweight and durable. It is
compatible with many various additives and can be made:-
- Clear or coloured by adding a
masterbatch
- UV stabilised
- Flame retardant (PVC is inherently self-extinguishing because
of the content of chlorine in the polymer)
- PVC/NBR (PVC Nitrile)
Used for applications where the profile needs to be resistant to
a wider range of chemicals and lower temperatures.
- Tpe (Thermoplastic Elastomers)
The thermoplastic equivalent to EPDM, this material is
non-marking, recyclable and used in applications where the profile
is to be compatible with polycarbonate, acrylic and styrene.
- Tpe (Evoprene Super G)
A superior version of Tpe, the
performance of profiles is substantially extended with this class of
compound.
- Tpe (Santoprene ®)
Santoprene is a high performance elastomer. It has a
high tear strength and superior resistance to fatigue. It
offers a constant service temperature of - 60° to + 135° and is
available in Food and Drug Approved / Medical grades.
- Tpe (Alcryn ®)
Melt processable rubber which processes as a thermoplastic.
- Tpe (Vaycron ®)
Developed as a glazing gasket material which is eminently
suitable for co-extruded applications, this product is available in
black and white with very good outdoor performance and compatible
with all glazing media.
- Teee (Hytrel ®)
Particularly good high modulus
material especially suited for use in dual hardness co-ex
profiles for hinge applications. This material has an extended performance life.
